Mezco’s Woodford.
This figure is weird in the best way, but what really sold me is the articulation. Tons of range, expressive poses, and a lot more play value than you’d expect at first glance. Easy to get lost just moving it around and finding shapes that feel right.
Definitely one of those figures that rewards time in-hand.
After a run of heavier, moodier figures, this felt like the right moment to go full cartoon. Saturated color, hard contrast, playful posing, and lighting all working together to say “IT’S SHOWTIME.”
Right? It’s a great figure
Hellboy (1000toys).
Easily one of my favorite figures of the year.
Slash (Super7), based on the OG ’90s Playmates version.
Pure childhood chaos. Loud colors. Sharp edges.
This one hit me right in the memories.
Mexican taco stand
Yes! And in this specific case these are Tacos al pastor which come from Mexico City, where Lebanese immigrants adapted shawarma techniques to local tastes in the early 20th century. They replaced lamb with pork and added Mexican seasonings like achiote and pineapple, creating one of the most iconic street foods in Mexico.
Playmobil Taquero:
Not all heroes wear capes, Some wear an apron and keep the whole city moving.
Wife got me this little taquero for Xmas and I love it.
(I know it’s not really a taquero, I don’t care)
Thanks! LMK if you’re interested in the settings
Aleister Gangreene, Blunt force belief.
Color-heavy lighting, horror framing, zero restraint.
Thanks! It’s pretty decent. Let’s see how long it lasts.
Crab Louie (Mezco Rumble Society).
Dockside muscle with a long memory and short patience.
Low-key lighting, texture-forward closeups.
edited, thanks!
Agent Gomez (1975).
No warning shots. Just results.
Starting a daily figure streak.
Lighting + practical effects. Feedback welcome.
You just didn’t honk at us…
Raphael as The Unmentionables
Had a blast shooting this one. Went for a smoky noir vibe, with a practical light setup and a printed alley backdrop. Tossed in some atmosphere effects for that extra grit.
Got a B&W version to, complete with fake scratches to give it that old crime photo look.
Curious what y’all think.
Doc Noc delivers justice in the shadows.
Aleister Gangreene had it coming.
Mezco’s attention to character really shines here. Just used practical lighting and some fog to add punch to the scene. Feedback welcome!
Biker Gomez tearing through the night—bat in hand, ready to handle business. Mezco’s roach with attitude never disappoints, and this shot was all about capturing that gritty, cinematic feel. Let me know what you think! Always up for feedback from fellow toy photographers and collectors.
Thanks!!!
That’s correct! I positioned the camera so I could get a lens flare.
